White Magic for Lovers7 reviews Drugstore Roadrunner Records, 1998 What's with the lukewarm reviews? + This band deserved better This album seems a world away from their debut (isn't it available anymore? Crying shame, that). The dark, brooding feel of the first outing barely made it onto this album, although it definitely creeps in. White Magic has a more outright rock feel, less obsessive gloominess, and ...             Angel Eyes80 reviews Jennifer Lopez, James Caviezel Warner Home Video, 2001 Don't Let Go! + LUIS MANDOKI, OPUS 7 + IT'S ONLY ME, BUT: After "catching" the last half-hour or so of this film on television a few weeks ago I picked up the DVD -- I love weepy stories with happy endings. Within 30 seconds of the opening titles, I was completely surprised and riveted by Angel Eyes. Characters, story, it all worked for me. I won't ...             Best Places Seattle Cookbook: Recipes from the City's Outstanding Restaurants and Bars4 reviews Cynthia C. Nims, Kathy Casey Sasquatch Books, 2001 I am smitten + Best of Vibrant Urban Cuisine + Brings a luscious taste of Seattle into any home dining menu + I can vouch for the el camino enchiladas and bahia mussells             Cold Spring Harbor2 reviews Richard Yates Delta, 1987 another classic from Yates + An Ordinary Reality. This is the third novel from Yates that I have read and it is another instant classic. All the subtlety and suburban horror that he packs into Easter Parade and Revolutionary Road is here as you would expect, but this is a much shorter book. As a result much of the action is implied but implied ...             In the Land of Men: Stories1 review Antonya Nelson Scribner Paper Fiction, 1999 Another wonderful collection by Ms. Nelson! I read and loved The Expendables and Female Trouble and couldn't wait to read another Antonya Nelson short-story collection. In the Land of Men is another collection centered on women and their relationships. Nelson's prose has a rather simplistic feel to it, but her stories have beautiful, ...             Open Your Eyes105 reviews Carola Angulo (II), Gérard Barray Artisan Entertainment, 2000 Open Your Eyes + great mind juggler + Watch this first! + Great Movie If You Like Alternative Realities + Man on the television             Prize Stories 2001: The O.

Her ...             Grey Gardens - Criterion Collection96 reviews Edith 'Little Edie' Bouvier Beale, Edith Bouvier Beale Criterion, 2001 Hard to watch, hard not to watch ... + Better than watching a car crash! + So Sad Yet So True + Little Edie Beale: A Fascinating Female Residing in Grey Gardens + Grey Gardens             The Annotated Wizard of Oz (Centennial Edition)36 reviews L.

The eponymous terrorists wreak mundane, unsensationalistic havoc (except in the eerily timely "The Written Word" where a little brother's prank diverts a ...             The Partnership1 review Barry Unsworth W. W. Norton & Company, 2001 An early work, which might have dated a little The Partnership was Barry Unsworth's first novel and feels rather different in both style and content from most of his other books. It deals with a business arrangement, and therefore relationship of sorts between Foley and Moss. They design and manufacture plaster pixies for the tourist trade in a ...             Talking in Bed6 reviews Antonya Nelson Scribner, 1998 Surprised to be So Touched and Moved + Thought provoking + Great read! Antonya Nelson's Talking in Bed is a wonderful book. I became enraptured by the three main characters and fell head long into their lives. The triangle they form changes all their lives forever and even the resolution is equal parts both satisfying and disturbing because these three people will ...             Q*Bert PS12 reviews PlayStation | Atari Inc. EXCELLENT GAME! + Guilty pleasure + Love the Orange Ball guy! Q*BERT shows why some of the orignal video games are still the best. Its the gameplay that sets them apart. Q*Bert wont dazzle you with graphics or music, but it will have you hooked with its great gameplay. The first night I fired this game up I couldn't quit playing it for 2 hours. It is ...             15 Levels of Magnification1 review Neotropic Ntone, 1997 An exquisitely sensual journey. Riz Maslen's neotropical sense of art is beyond limits. The minimal beat and occasional acid lashes, less frequent and furious than Mr. Brubaker's, enveloped by a functioning visceral mood and a very intimate ambient, make this my favourite. You must listen to Neotropic.             Beautiful Creatures12 reviews Susan Lynch, Iain Glen Universal Studios, 2001 Sans Brad Pitt--still the better film + Yes, but what about giving the male actors more credit? + Like a celluloid `little baby nothing' + A Great Dark Comedy And Ms. Weisz Is So HOT!!!             Disturbing the Peace6 reviews Richard Yates Bantam Dell Pub Group (P), 1984 The Saga of the Downward Spiral + Bare.

Kirsten Dunst was wonderful. This movie is a semi-musical farce. I mean farce in its proper usage: not a term of derision but rather the highest and hardest form of comedy (as distinguished from ...
